Our Veterans Report on NICC:
An increased number of veterans enrolling at a particular school means that college faculty are more adept at accommodating and supporting those with previous military experience. The VA reports that there are 2 GI Bill® students at NICC. Since the total enrollment at the school is 330, roughly 60.6% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. By comparison, the Student Veterans of America reports that three to four percent of college students nationwide are veterans.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater.

If you have specialized military training, NICC may take that into consideration and grant college credit for it. Contact the school to find out more about the particulars. Prior-learning credit can help you graduate sooner, so it pays to ask. Check with NICC about credit for life experience, CLEP and similar exams, or other prior learning beyond military training.
